My Plumber Heating and Cooling prides itself on a long history of giving back to the communities that it serves. As company founder R. Wendell Presgrave explains it, “We consider it our privilege to give something back to the communities that provide our living, and frankly, we love having the opportunity.” My Plumber has collected many tons of food for the hun­gry, performed free or deeply discounted plumbing repairs for homeless shelters and in private homes throughout Northern Virginia and Suburban Maryland, and sponsored sports teams, school plays and many other educational activities. The company also has a tradition of replacing, for free, the oldest, ugliest heating system that it can find each autumn.
